Design System Culture

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. The norms a team or organization has around using, maintaining, and respecting a shared design system. Good design system culture balances consistency with pragmatic exceptions and does not treat the system as frozen dogma.

    Example: "Their design system culture improved once product teams could propose well-reasoned changes instead of hacking around components in private forks."
